I would love to bring a guy like Joe Robustelli to complete our core. 6’3, 220 he looks like a future star in the making. Just stuck behind a deep and talented core. Bring him in with White, Wilson, and Demski and now we’re cooking.

White is a good receiver so it's a good signing. Now go get that big body big play guy and we're cooking.

Signing a guy with 4 consecutive 1000 yard seasons and who has remained healthy. Yup terrible signing! His receptions to targets was better then Kenny Lawler and nearly the same as KeeSean Johnson.

Really interested to see how this plays out with Collaros. Condell obviously loves him from Hamilton. Targeted White 8 times a game on average when he was calling plays there. Schoen had fewer targets in 22 and 23. Bombers really lacking vertical threat in terms of guys with some catch radius who can give a QB the chance to not have to pinpoint the ball every single time.

Bridges is the guy I would go after next week perfect big body WR core needs

White/Demski/Pokey is a nice trio.

Much better player than Nick Moore. Legit #2 receiver. Just not sure we have what we need for him or the offense to succeed. Like him and Wilson are potentially a bit redundant. Do we have anyone who is willing to block downfield? For run game, but also White/Wilson have a lot of utility in screen game. Demski is old as hell for pro football. Could be great, could fall off the cliff tomorrow. I hope we're still active in adding parts to the offense. Because we're lacking majorly at receiver and OL. Think we really have to be prepared to play at least 3 American OL. Wouldn't be the craziest thing to be active in the free agent market on American OL and we need another vet receiver, ideally more physical type who can go get the ball and work in scramble drill.

Tim White's kneel for the Rouge in the 2021 Grey Cup is the only reason we won it that year Guy has always been undercover for the Bombers

It’s definitely an upgrade over Sterns, it’s just really not the kind of player I wanted. He’s got the exact same issues Pokey does - he’s a target vacuum who has a low catch %, even lower catch % on downfield targets (White had the worst catch % in the league on targets deeper than 20 yards) and he doesn’t really bust any big plays, give us a jump ball target or take the top off a defense.

Cant argue with his production. Nice to see Walters actually go out and get someone proven. I'd love to see some DE and DT signings.

I like the idea of Robustelli or Eberhardt as up and comers to add to the American group. Could be a big reward. Still think we could and should improve our Canadian receivers with Brissett.

We HAVE to move on from Schoen. He's cooked.

Grey Cup week...lol....if being honest

For me, this is now on scouting.

I like the White signing, a one year....personal 1000yard guy, he will show up with something to prove, I can only assume he will have a chip on his shoulder....true not a Bailey type at all.....I am also in the camp of Robestelli, maybe even one the Riders CDN receivers..... Still don't like the Kyrie signing...again not personnel, but IMO it was the right time to move on.... As I said before I think our O line will look good this year.., For me we need more overall depth at receivers, at least one more CDN receiver with some experience, and some help along the D line I still believe this has been one of Walters best pre FA's....

I am happy to see the Bombers land a big free agent

He didn 't like being Number 2 behind Lawler last year & I think it affected his performance. Eberhardt would be okay.

Yep assuming everyone is healthy coming out of camp, that's better than Wheatfall/Demski and a hobbled Schoen we had our of camp last year.

Great signing, he will make Wilson and Demski better

Tim White to the Bombers on a one year deal Gotta be honest, don’t love that

Thank you., He owned an auto body shop on Marion Street for 41 years after the war to 1982 & was a master repairer. It was like he was an artist. He could take a car with twisted metal from a crash & bring it back to life. He was Old School having learned his craft ion the 1930's before the War. He taught his guys how to weld like he was taught with Old School techniques. They would be fascinated with my Dad's welding techniques as they were never taught that. They were all eager to learn. I can remember guys coming up to me when I worked at the shop & saying, "You're Dad is amazing!!" Which made me proud, Generally, he'd hire young guys out of Red River College for their first job. They'd be a "Go Fer" & learn on small jobs that the more experienced guys didn't have time to do as they were busy with bigger wrecks. They would be apprentices. These kids would gain experience & move on to better paying jobs a year or so later. My father was a wiry guy about 5'9 & 160 lbs. But he was as strong as an Ox from all the physical labour he did for 4 decades in the shop. His hands were calloused like boards. To see him just wither away with Denmentia & not be able to function was very hard. Duguid is one of my boyhood sports heroes. Along with his Third, "The Arrow" Rod Hunter. I started curling because of those two. Winning two back to back Briers, Silver Brooms & being the best team on the planet those 2 years in 1970 & 71. The Duguid rink were awesome .I don't think they ever lost a game in both Briers & world championships. May a pox befall on those that make fun of people who are ill & suffering. They never asked for whatever sicknesses they have.

I am in partial agreement, but am given to wonder if he was mostly the benficiary of a very good roster assembled by Walters. When that roster was thinned out by aging, injury and defections, O'Shea's effectiveness faded out because he was unable/unwilling to adapt.

So if your Smith or Shay, how pissed are you? I'd be pissed to know they signed an aging vet whose going to get pencilled in.

White is a good signing... gives us a nice top 3 in Pokey-Demski-White (in whatever order you choose)... as others have mentioned... I would also like to see an under-the-radar/under utilized guy like Shamar Bridges or Joe Robustetelli added to the group... maybe given more opportunities, one of those guys could emerge as the "next guy"....

And we need help on the interior of the DL to shore it up. With Jake Thomas hogging the playimg time for years, I really don't know what we have. I do know that the DL played better as a unit when Thomas wasn't on the field.

Austin Mack

White is a big play guy, just need a big possession receiver that has blocking skills similar to Bailey when he was here

Didn’t say it was a terrible signing. Just doesn’t really suit the kind of receiver I was hoping for. 5’9”, gonna be 32 years old, fits that Justin Hardy style I just don’t really think I want with the pieces we already have.

Sorry to hear that man. My grandpa was the same. I used to really enjoy The Onion satire site. Until the day they poked fun at alzheimer's - then I was done.

that whole offence put up great numbers. But he did have good numbers the year before too. Yeah I think his fit would be great with demski, wilson and zach.

Injury prone isnt really a thing unless its a brittle bone situation...its more s guy has been unlucky/unfortunate Eberhardt be a good compliment to a guy like Mack who can be the downfield and over top threat Wilson I think is what Eberhardt would give us already...but better...we need a bigger dynamic guy to compliment what we have. Id even kick Rhymes tires if we strike out everywhere as well as either him or Mack would be beneficial for ZC with what I expect numerous ducks ..floaters and throws wuth the wtf was that about tag If we could land a Gittens or Brisett to go with Demski...Clercius in a rotational role and yeah gonna say it..Woli as depth and bring some that old leadership and attitude back as well being ZC security blanket we could have a real good offence and control the clock

No, not at all.

We need two receivers. One who is a guy who pushes the ball downfield & is a deep threat. The other is a possession receiver who isn't afraid to get his nose bloodied blocking for others. A Darvin Adams or Sheed Bailey type. I think Robustelli, Nield or Eberhardt fills that void. A deep threat downfield is much harder to find. That's why letting Lawler walk was such an insanely stupid decision last year. Especially when he said he was willing to take a bit less than he got in Hamilton to stay here. Hopefully that guy is now Ontaria Wilson. Do you think we bring back Keric Wheatfall? Should we?

Mack is over 6 feet no? https://www.cfl.ca/players/austin-mack/167550/

That didnt work for us ly. Macks injury history is concerning but White may be a better choice

I wonder how much of Eberhardt's success was because of Hatcher? I suppose Wilson/Demski is about as good at drawing coverage as you can get too...

No surprise that Johnson nre-upped. Corey Mace has created the same atmosphere Osh had from 2019-2022.
